Lawsuit clock ticks as Westinghouse uranium case continues
In Richmond, Virginia, a group of ten utilities led by Houston Lighting & Power and Long Island Lighting seek $2.5 billion over claimed breaches of uranium supply contracts by Westinghouse. The suit questions unsigned deals and price spikes from about $11 to $40 per pound, affecting about 33 million consumers. The case, before Judge Merhige, consolidates multiple actions with Lilco involved in disputed contracts from the early 1970s.

Battle over whale oil cargo prompts Greenpeace action
Greenpeace spokesman John Frizell says the group will block by nonviolent means any freighter carrying 1,200 tons of whale oil stored at Vancouver port. The oil, valued at $1.2 million, is bound for Liverpool and may depart around Oct 18 after a 30 day storage deal ends. The Stolt Ljangdaff, previously refused entry by Portland, was forced to Vancouver.
